THE titles of his well-known songs are too rude to put in the paper and the topics he has covered in his 17 albums too inappropriate to share.

And when you get up from your chair at the end of Kevin Bloody Wilson's First of the Final Farewell Tour show there is a good chance your stomach muscles will ache and you will have a pain in your side.

Unlike most chart-topping artists who have people behind the scenes to write their songs for them, Wilson has been crafting his own for 30 years.

And his methods of gathering material have remained the same throughout his whole career.

"I was in a band with my mates in Kalgoorlie," Wilson said.

"We played on the weekends, and back then Kalgoorlie was only a fairly small country town and we would always end up playing to the same audiences.

"So we decided to take other peoples songs and put different words to them.

"I found people started expecting us to perform our version of the songs.

"It was the funny stuff they really wanted to hear.

"You see the funny side of the world when you are drunk.

Gradually Wilson, his songs and bar stool philosophies, which are written with anything but a sugar-coated pen, became incredibly popular.

He went from performing on weekends at a Kalgoorlie pub to playing to sell-out crowds around Australia and the world.

"My wife travels around with me," Wilson said.

"When I would perform in places around London and the like she would turn to me and say 'We are a long way from Kalgoorlie'."

But to Wilson performing in top class theatres in Las Vegas and in small Australian country pubs is equally as important.

"I have no trouble darting between locations," he said.

"I have a good time no matter where I am."

Wilson said it was an honour to have people pay to come and watch him perform.

"It has been a fun journey and I reckon I must have done something pretty good three to four lifetimes ago in order to end up with a gig as good as this one."

But when Wilson was asked to explain what his job was in a nutshell, he was stumped for an answer.

"No one has ever asked me that before," he said.

"You have me thinking now.

"I guess I am just a bloke with red hair who is lucky to be doing what I am doing.

"I am blessed to be able to follow my dream."

Wilson's current dream is an odd one.

"I plan to have more comebacks than John Farnham, hence the name of this tour," Wilson said.

The comedian said his tour, which will roll into the Warwick RSL on July 10, was like a best of the best tour but with some new songs as well.

"I have been at this for 30 years now," he said.

"People of different ages all know me by different songs and I have to try and fit them all into my show including some new ones.

"I try to do an hour to an hour and half show and the hardest decision is what songs to leave out."

And keeping with his character of being a little bit different to other comedians Wilson is not into singling out his audience members during his shows.

"We are too busy having fun to do that," he said.
